Eaton's RBI single answers Guerrero's early homer (Nats fall 5-1)

Eaton's RBI single answers Guerrero's early homer (Nats fall 5-1)
The Blue Jays got ahead of right-hander Austin Voth and the Nationals in the second inning on a home run from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Left fielder Emilio Bonifácio and center fielder Victor Robles went after Guerrero's long fly ball to left-center field. The two collided at the wall and the ball went over the fence for a home run. Robles appeared to have the ball in his glove for a moment right before the two collided. Bonifácio went down on his back but got up with the help of Robles. The...

Yankees up early on Scherzer (Nats fall 4-1 in five innings)

Yankees up early on Scherzer (Nats fall 4-1 in five innings)
The Nationals celebrated their first world championship with a flag raising in the center field plaza and a hoisting of the 2019 World Series pennant above the video board in right field before tonight's Major League Baseball opener against the Yankees at Nationals Park. One can only imagine how loud Nats Park would have been in any other season opener with 43,000 fans on their feet to share in the accomplishment. But this is 2020, and with the world in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic,...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
It has taken an extraordinarily long time for the Nationals' exhibition finale to arrive. And yet it still feels like it sneaked up on us without notice, doesn't it? Such is life when you've had a four-month hiatus in the middle of the exhibition season, then only three games upon returning to action. This is the last chance the Nats will get, though, before facing the Yankees for real Thursday night. So if there's anyone or anything Davey Martinez still needs to look at before then, this...

Alvarez homer starts off scoring in Game 5 (Nats fall 7-1)
The Astros struck first in Game 5 of the World Series off Nationals starter Joe Ross. With one out in the second, Yuri Gurriel reached base thanks to an infield single that glanced off of Ross. Yordan Alvarez, making his first start in the series in the field, belted a two-run homer to left-center field. The Nats started the second inning in promising fashion with singles from Juan Soto and Howie Kendrick. But right-hander Gerrit Cole struck out Ryan Zimmerman and Victor Robles grounded into a...

Astros greet Corbin rudely in the first (Nats fall 8-1)

Astros greet Corbin rudely in the first (Nats fall 8-1)
World Series Game 4 certainly did not start the way the Nationals manager Davey Martinez had hoped. He wanted early runs, just not by the Astros. Facing left-hander Patrick Corbin in the first, Houston connected on four straight singles, highlighted by an RBI base knock by Alex Bregman and an infield single from Yuri Gurriel that scored another run. Corbin wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam by inducing a double play ground out to third baseman Anthony Rendon. Houston scored two runs and pounded...

Nats can't convert in clutch, lose World Series home debut (updated)

Nats can't convert in clutch, lose World Series home debut (updated)
They came looking for a party, fully expecting the first World Series game played in the District of Columbia in 86 years to produce the same kind of thrills that have become commonplace here all month long, only ratcheted up to an entirely new level that would leave the Nationals on the precipice of a championship. What the overflow gathering at Nationals Park tonight got instead was 30 minutes of pregame nostalgia and anticipatory hype, then four hours of frustration as the home team...

Nats erupt for seven runs in first inning to set tone (Nats win 7-4)
The Cardinals had to get off to a good start in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. The Nationals, leading three games to none in the best-of-seven series, were due for a letdown. Right? Nope. Left-hander Patrick Corbin struck out the side using all fastballs in the top of the first to get the game rolling. The Nationals then went after Cards starter Dakota Hudson in the bottom of the first, scoring seven runs on six hits. Trea Turner singled and Adam Eaton doubled to begin the...

Right-hander Stephen Strasburg started Game 3 of the National League Championship Series with a pair of strikeouts in the first inning, including a called third strike on a curveball to Paul Goldschmidt to end the frame. Marcell Ozuna led off the second with a double down the left field line. Fielding a comebacker by José Martínez, Strasburg wheeled and was able to catch Ozuna off second base. Strasburg then got a pair of popups to get out of the threat. Anthony Rendon drew a two-out walk...

Rendon evens Game 4 with sacrifice fly (Nats win 6-1)
The Dodgers were able to jump out on top early against the Nationals in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Facing Max Scherzer, Justin Turner blasted a solo homer to left-center field on a 95.5 mph fastball. Turner's second postseason homer came on an 0-1 pitch with two outs in the top of the first. He now has nine career postseason homers, which is third all-time in Dodgers history. Scherzer got out of the inning allowing just that one run. Corey Seager had a double in the second...

Juan Soto blasted a two-run shot over the center field wall to put the Nationals on top in the first inning of Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Nats Park. Soto became the eighth player in Major League Baseball history under 21 to hit a home run in a postseason game. Aníbal Sánchez has six strikeouts, including punching out the side in the second. The Dodgers left the bases loaded in the first. Sánchez allowed two walks and a single to Justin Turner, but got out of the...

Early homers haunt Scherzer (Nats win 4-3)
The Brewers struck quickly against Nationals starter Max Scherzer in tonight's National League wild card game. After a leadoff walk to Trent Grisham, Yasmani Grandal hit a two-run shot that bounced off the top of the right field wall at the Nats bullpen. That was his first homer of the postseason after 28 homers in the regular season. The Brewers led 2-0. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff used a 100 mph fastball to strikeout Adam Eaton swinging for the second out of the first. The longballs...

Harper nets extra-base hit early off Sánchez (Nats win 5-2)
Phillies left-hander Drew Smyly has not allowed the Nationals a hit in the first three innings, striking out six. The Nationals have yet to get a runner on base. Nationals right-hander Aníbal Sánchez gave up a single to Adam Haseley in the second inning, but nothing else. He has struck out three. The first three innings took 40 minutes. Bryce Harper doubled to begin the fourth inning. Rhys Hoskins followed with an RBI single, snapping an 0-for-26 skid. Mid-fourth, the Phillies lead the...

Surprisingly, the Phillies were able to score quickly against Nationals starter Max Scherzer. After recording an out to open the game, Scherzer walked Logan Morrison. Jean Segura followed with a single to third baseman Anthony Rendon. With two men on, Brad Miller blasted a three-run homer to center field. His ninth homer of the season came on an 0-1 pitch. It was the first time Scherzer had allowed a three-run homer since April 4, 2018 against Preston Tucker. Yan Gomes got the Nats on the board...

Game 157 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
Well, here we go. The Nationals took care of business this afternoon. Now, if they can take care of business again tonight, and if the Pirates can snap their long losing streak and extend the Cubs' long losing streak, there's going to be a celebration on South Capitol Street tonight. The Nationals can only take care of their own business and then hope the Pirates do their part. With that in mind, they'll happily send Max Scherzer to the mound for the nightcap. The ace looked like the ace...

Strasburg laboring against patient Cards lineup (game tied 2-2)

Strasburg laboring against patient Cards lineup (game tied 2-2)
ST. LOUIS - On a muggy Monday night at Busch Stadium, the last thing the Nationals needed was a short outing from Stephen Strasburg. Alas, that's exactly what they appear to be getting. Though he has allowed only two runs so far, Strasburg has thrown a whopping 76 pitches through three innings against a Cardinals lineup that is making the Nats right-hander work as hard as he has all season. Strasburg needed 38 pitches just to complete the bottom of the first, with four of St. Louis' first six...

Voth off to good start, Rendon delivers big hit (Nats lose 10-1)
The Nationals took the early lead on Saturday afternoon against National League East rival Atlanta. Trea Turner walked to lead off the first against right-hander Mike Foltynewicz. Anthony Rendon then delivered an RBI double off the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field to score Turner. Victor Robles singled with one out in the second. But with Raudy Read at the plate, Robles was caught stealing at second base. Read then singled to center field, but Austin Voth flew out to right field to...

Game 144 lineups: Nats at Twins

Game 144 lineups: Nats at Twins
MINNEAPOLIS - The Nationals really need a win tonight. Which means they need to score runs. Preferably early in the game. For what it's worth, this appears to be a favorable matchup against Twins left-hander Martín Pérez. The Nats tend to hit lefties well (aside from last weekend's struggles against Max Fried and Dallas Keuchel). Pérez has a 4.75 ERA and 1.463 WHIP. And a few Nats who have faced him before have good numbers, including Brian Dozier (5-for-12, two homers) and Adam...

Eaton, Gomes and Soto display power early (Nats win 9-4)
The Nationals finally got off to the quick start manager Davey Martinez had been looking for, with two homers in the first two innings Sunday against the Braves. Adam Eaton crushed a two-run shot to left-center field in the first inning and Yan Gomes lined a solo homer to left field in the second inning off Braves starter Mike Soroka. For Eaton, it was his 13th; Gomes hit his eighth. The Nats' 3-0 lead was their first in the series and first time they had scored a run before the fifth inning...
